Annals colonoscopy study underscores importance of quality standards
A study by Baxter, et al. released this week and scheduled to be published in the Jan. 6, 2009, edition of Annals of Internal Medicine, concluded that while screening colonoscopy is associated with fewer deaths from colorectal cancer, the association is primarily limited to deaths from cancer developing in the left side of the colon. view more (2008-12-18)
'Killer' cells used to combat rare cancer
Scientists from the University of Edinburgh are using immune cells harvested from blood donors to help fight an unusual cancer which can affect transplant patients. And their findings, published recently in The Lancet show that the therapy has proved effective in a number of cases. The treatment proved successful last year in saving the life of a... view more...

Radiation therapy prolongs life in men with recurrent prostate cancer
Men whose tumors recur after prostate cancer surgery are three times more likely to survive their disease long term if they undergo radiotherapy within two years of the recurrence. view more (2008-06-18)
'Western' diet linked to increased risk of colon cancer recurrence
Colon cancer patients who eat a diet high in red meat, fatty products, refined grains, and desserts - a so-called "Western diet" - may be increasing their chance of disease relapse and early death, report researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. view more (2007-08-15)
Who gets cancer treatment, and who completes it?
Cancer treatment is now very effective in many cases, yet not all patients with cancer are referred and not all complete their treatment programme. This has puzzled cancer specialists who have wondered if psychological factors might influence their decision and has led to research carried out by Dr Stan Lindsay from the Institute of Psychiatry in... view more...

Colon cancer shuts down receptor that could shut it down
Though a high-fiber diet has long been considered good for you and beneficial in staving off colon cancer, Medical College of Georgia researchers have discovered a reason why: roughage activates a receptor with cancer-killing potential. view more (2009-04-14)
Disparities in prostate cancer treatment suggest ways to improve care
Quality of care varies greatly for the treatment of men with early-stage prostate cancer by region of the country and category of health care facility, suggesting the potential for improved patient outcomes with more standard treatment protocols. view more (2008-08-04)
Form of Crohn's disease traced to disabled gut cells
Scientists report online this week in Nature that they have linked the health of specialized gut immune cells to a gene associated with Crohn's disease, an often debilitating and increasingly prevalent inflammatory bowel disorder. view more (2008-10-06)
Immune system's distress signal tells bacteria when to strike back
The human opportunistic pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, has broken the immune system's code, report researchers from the University of Chicago, enabling the bacteria to recognize when its host is most vulnerable and to launch an attack before the weakened host can muster its defenses. view more (2005-07-29)
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy reduces side effects for cervical cancer
Preliminary results from a University of Pittsburgh study evaluating extended-field intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for cervical cancer found that it resulted in significantly reduced side effects and outcomes comparable to standard radiotherapy. view more (2006-11-08)
Study Shows Acrylamide in Baked and Fried Foods Does Not Increase Risk of Breast Cancer in Women
Researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden and the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, USA have found no association between acrylamide intake in foods and risk of breast cancer among Swedish women. The findings appear in the March 16, 2005 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. In 2002, the... view more... (2005-03-16)
Early treatment of stomach infection may prevent cancer
Based on research using a new mouse model of gastritis and stomach cancer, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say that prompt treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections reverses damage to the lining of the stomach that can lead to cancer. view more (2008-05-01)
Vitamin D deficiency common in patients with IBD, chronic liver disease
New research presented at the 73rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology in Orlando found patients with inflammatory bowel disease or chronic liver disease were at increased risk of developing Vitamin D deficiencies. Two separate studies highlight the importance of regular Vitamin D checkups in the evaluation of... view more... (2008-10-06)
Study identifies double-balloon enteroscopy as cost-effective approach for obscure GI bleeding
A cost-effectiveness analysis conducted by researchers at Stanford University Hospital in Calif., shows that an initial double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) is a cost-effective approach for patients with obscure gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. view more (2008-11-25)
Biodegradable polymers show promise for improving treatment of acute inflammatory diseases
A family of biodegradable polymers called polyketals and their derivatives may improve treatment for such inflammatory illnesses as acute lung injury, acute liver failure and inflammatory bowel disease by delivering drugs, proteins and snips of ribonucleic acid to disease locations in the body. view more (2008-08-21)
Mayo Clinic finds aggressive surgery best option for advanced-stage ovarian cancer patients
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center researchers report aggressive surgical removal of as much cancer as possible throughout the abdomen in ovarian cancer patients is the best option for most women. view more (2006-01-10)

Hysterectomy type makes little difference in later sexual function
Women who undergo a total hysterectomy, in which both the uterus and the cervix are removed, are no more likely to experience sexual difficulties or urinary or bowel problems after surgery than women who have only their uterus removed, a new review has found. view more (2006-05-15)
Reduced Risk from Appendix, Bowel or Birth
The risk of life threatening infection after a burst appendix, childbirth or bowel surgery has just been reduced, according to medical researchers who have discovered how a particularly dangerous bacterium fools our body's defences. The findings are presented today, Tuesday 8 April 2003, by Dr Sheila Patrick at the Society for General... view more... (2003-04-02)
Study fuels debate over whether exercise and body size influence ovarian cancer risk
